If it was a non-Deluxe Hydra Stomper, it was about a normal trade at trade value. If it was the Deluxe Hydra Stomper, you overpaid about $100, even if you paid full resell on the Power Base. If it was the non-Deluxe Hydra Stomper and I really wanted the Power Base, I would have made the trade. Since you had a $650 price on the Hydra Stomper, I would assume that it was the Deluxe and that you gave too much away in trade; probably over valued the Power Base.
That Cats Lair was so BEAUTIFUL!! My parents got me one when I was a kid in the 4th grade. I haven't seen that piece in over 40y and this one in the video is perfect dude, so minty fresh. When he walked in with it, my jaw hit the floor. The colors were popping off my screen 💯💗
@@toyfederation I only played with it twice and then I boxed it back up. I only sold it because I needed the money bad. The man that bought it also bought all my VHS tapes and other toys from the line later. I still have a few small things like folders and stickers, found them with my trapper keeper collection lol
That's a very nice store you have! The Sectaurs set is awesome... I only have the one figure in that range, the one with the fly's head, had it for years, and only recently found out what it is 😂
Sectaurs looks so dark and foreboding. Then on the inside it's like a vaporwave graphic. I got a Sectaurs action figure. I found him recently digging out my old Castle Grey Skull.
I have a question (or two) for you guys. I keep many of my toys in their original packaging and do not open them. Some toys and playsets, like the Captain Power shown in the video, how do you know that is what you are getting inside? Has anyone ever sold you something or have you ever heard of someone getting a mint in box, only to open it sometime later to discover a bunch of stuff inside that isn't what's on the box? Another great video, keep them coming fellas! 😊
You really don’t, but if you’ve handled enough vintage sealed product you’re gonna recognize if it’s been redone or not. But then it’s not fool proof but also I’m not opening it anyway so you just don’t Know
@@toyfederation Makes sense that it would be difficult to pull that off. Especially since you guys have dealt with far more collectibles than I ever have or will. I want to imagine there is a special place in hell for someone who would do that anyway. 😆
Loving this channel. Another Rare playset worth mentioning along with difficulty of The Hyve, Crystar's Crystal Castle and Power Lords Volcan Rock is Blackstar's Ice Castle......not super rare and not a ton of easily lost pieces......but just the condition of the plastic. You either get unlucky, which I'd say 75% were in this category of plastic that turns brittle and shatters into pieces over time....OR.....you get lucky and have a plastic mixture that holds together over time and stays in one piece. Some sellers are even afraid to ship the castle due to it's brittleness.
Captain Power is one of the easiest toy lines to find still sealed in box. It was massively overhyped and over produced. The line didn't get much traction, and ultimately Mattel had to liquidate tons of unsold merchandise to discount chains like Big Lots. It didn't even sell there and Big Lots and they had to liquidate it too. I remember buying all the figures I didn't have for $.99 on clearance. I think I paid $2.99 piece for the XT-7 and Phantom Striker. The Power Base clearanced for $9.99 if I recall, but I didn't get it. Because the prices were so low, a bunch of flea marketers bought out their local Big Lots, and the stuff sat around carded and boxed for years there For me, the hardest to find stuff sealed in box is the stuff made by Arco; non-lightbeam toys. A few of the light beam toys, like the Blastpak 1200 are pretty hard to find sealed. I personally loved the line, even though I was hitting those teenage years at the time; when toys were no longer cool. I watched the cartoon and played along everyday. Had all the VHS tapes too. And I could invite friends over to play, and they thought ot was cool, even if they were teens playing with toys. It was cool, like Dragon's Lair was cool when that was a thing!
I still think the single hardest 80s player to complete is Volcan Rock from Power Lords......I've got a complete Hyve in box....and Volcan Rock in box that's about 98% complete.....it has taken me YEARS to put the Volcan Rock together. Crystal Castle is no push over either.
When I was a kid I used to walk to school and there was a house on corner that had one of the city trash cans delivered the big ones and I guess the person died but they thru away everything I was doing 10 years old and I looked in it cus there was a ghostbusters headquarters sticking out I filled up my back pack with nothing but kool toys and wen I walked home from school the trash can was gone but I got ghost buster car with all ghost busters som motu some other kool thunder ate ji goe all vintage that was 30 years ago
the Sectars spiders were cool, the action figures sucked. We had a few of the spiders and used them with G.I. Joe, TMNT, Heman, pretty much everyone but the lame human bugs they came with. I'm surprised no one just copied the idea, it was cool, it was a glove you put on, your fingers were the legs and mine had a ring you pulled and the claws grabbed action figures.
wonder what the original Voltron, or skeletor would go for. Funny story I went back to my old house 20 years later and found one of my GI joes about 20 ft in the air. I sneakily knocked him down. His little rubber band waited for me all those years and then disintegrated!
All that sectaurs stuff was red tagged down to almost nothing at my local KB toystore. I had the flying spider and dragonfly with figures and fn tossed them in the garbage 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️

Gotta wonder how honorable this guy's shop is? I recently took a Toys R Us exclusive Masterpiece Optimus Prime in the Japanese lettering box to a geek shop just like this one. The toy is worth 300-1000 US but the scum only wanted to give me $90. Suffice it to say, Prime is still in my toy closet. How much would you guys give me for him?
Agree. I would call it hard to find, but not really rare. Which rare is a marketing buzzword we all throw around too liberally! I once spent 12 years actively looking for an item, before I found a single one new in box. Aside from 1 of 1's, it may be one of the rarest items I ever sought. Unless it takes me at least a year to find just one for sale, I really don't consider an item rare. Rare is a relative term and means different things to different people, depending on where they are in their journey!
Would you have taken this trade? Who’s ready for part 2!?
It’s a good trade
That Sectaur spider/hand feature is amazing!
@@christopherjohnson8743 yes it is! So unique right?

Love seeing my home town on the map now and especially for retro toys. Every time I come back home, i take my son here to buy something.
That’s awesome! We appreciate it!
The TMNT commercial!!!! So freaking good!
Thanks! Our production crew shot that! Check out their channel! @teenagemutantninjaturtlestube
The homemade commercial for things you can find in the shop (TMNT) was brilliant. Seriously guys this channel has been fantastic so far.
Thanks so much! We really appreciate our fans!
I could seriously live in this store. I love the guys and the huge selection. Honestly it’s a dream job ❤
Always look forward to my weekend visits
But what section of the store would you sleep in?
I have visited this store a few times on my trips to NC, great shop!!!
Getting Old toys from your childhood should be fun and affordable .nowadays it's neither
Value goes up but it’s still fun
Go for reproductions my guy
Not true colors
I agree, The internet and derps messed everything up.
That Channel 6 Van commercial was a pleasant surprise! Incredible playsets!
Our Producer, @ToyAttics on youtube, made that!
Seeing local people and their collections are what hooks me.
That’s awesome!
That Cats Lair is a tougher piece to find without cracks or discoloration. This one looks very clean.
Very much so!
Love this place. Can't believe it's ran by Ralph Macchio and the guy from Fallout Boy!
That's hilarious! We should get shirts made!
@Toy Federation You guys are awesome! I always always support my local store. Love the channel, keep it up!
@@captainsolo405 We shall! Tell your friends!

Don’t make me wait!!! I want to know NOW! Love that TMNT commercial
Thanks! Great to hear!
I sold my Open Box, complete Captian power base for 3500 in 2010. It's one of the rarest Playsets of the 80s. Even rarer than the He-man City today.
Oh wow!!!!
@@toyfederation I only played with it twice and then I boxed it back up. I only sold it because I needed the money bad. The man that bought it also bought all my VHS tapes and other toys from the line later. I still have a few small things like folders and stickers, found them with my trapper keeper collection lol
Captain power base??
Man, you ripped someone a new one then... its never been worth $3500, except maybe that one time you sold it!
Yeah you definitely ripped that guy off
Were is the part 2?
This is our go to Saturday show now!! Awesome job!!
That’s amazing to hear! Glad you’re sticking around!
Captain Power line doesn't get the credit it deserves. Really cool.
You like the Captain Power line too?!
That Cats Lair is very nice, you must have just got that in!!!
That lair is super nice!
That's a very nice store you have! The Sectaurs set is awesome... I only have the one figure in that range, the one with the fly's head, had it for years, and only recently found out what it is 😂
That's a great figure! Thank you for the compliments on the store! Make sure to check out our other videos! And new episodes Saturday Mornings!
That’s some pretty sick buying and trading. Can’t wait to see how it ends.
Thank you sir! Stay tuned!

Great store and fair prices on things friendly owner also
Thanks so much! Appreciate the compliments!
